  2. Status and Perspectives for the NuSTAR collaboration Modularized Start Version of FAIR NuSTAR science with Modules 0-1-2-3 What is missing? Conclusions

  3. FAIR Modularized Start Version • Significant cost increases in civil construction and site development cost ( Germany pays additional 95 M€ for site specific costs) • Modularized Start Version of FAIR A defined in White Paper Draft • Module 0: Heavy-Ion Synchrotron SIS100 • Module 1: Experiment hall at SIS100 for beam diagnostics, HADES/CBM, APPA, and detector calibration. • Module 2: Super-FRS for NUSTAR including all three branches and the energy buncher • Module 3: Antiproton facility for PANDA (LINAC; target, CR, HESR) and CR also for NuSTAR • Module 4: LEB cave, NESR storage ring for NUSTAR und APPA, FLAIR building, cave for APPA • Module 5: RESR storage ring for a higher beam intensity for PANDA and parallel operation with NUSTAR • Cost 0-1-2-3: 1.027 M€(2005) using updated civil construction cost and cost book values (CB 5.0) for accelerators • Accepted available funds amount to 1.039 M€(2005) • another 62 M€ not firm + 12 M€ from Saudi Arabia (new partner) • Construction schedule foresees first experiments 2016/17

  4. FAIR Modularized Start Version Cost: 1027 M€ Available: 1039 M€ 104 M€ 19 M€ Modules 4 and 5 will be implemented as additional funds become available!  Remember the 84 M€ not accounted for, but more funds certainly needed!

  5. Implementation Scenario for NuSTAR Experiments in Modules 0-3 YESTERDAY DESPEC at MF-4 ?? HISPEC At MF-4 or R3B target position?? R3B ILIMA in CR MATS & LASPEC behind R3B or in LEB tunnel??

  6. NuSTAR Experiments Modules 0-3 TODAY (+ building for energy buncher) • HISPEC • full capability • MATS & LASPEC • full capability • DESPEC • full capability • R3B • full capability • Delays possible for • EXL in NESR (Module 4) • ILIMA in NESR (Module 4) • ELISe (FAIR B) • ILIMA • Isochronous mode • shortest-lived nuclei • limited precision

  7. NuSTAR science within Modules 0-1-2-3 R3B: reaction studies at the highest energies in complete kinematics  full R3B programme will be accessible (world-wide unique) • few body correlations at and beyond the drip-lines in break-up reactions (halo nuclei, open quantum systems) • dipole response below and above the particle threshold using Coulomb excitation and breakup (Pygmy response, neutron skins, neutron matter properties, EOS) • Evolution of shell structure and single-particle occupancies using knock-out and quasi-free scattering experiments (tensor force, shell quenching) • Nuclear dynamics in fission and the symmetry energy at supra-saturation density in fragmentation reactions (large scale collective motion EOS) • Measurement of (gamma,n) reaction rates for r-process nuclei (origin of the heavy element)

  8. NuSTAR science within Modules 0-1-2-3 DESPEC: decay spectroscopy using gamma-ray and neutron spectroscopy following isomeric or beta-decay of very exotic nuclei Experiments with production rates between 1000 per second and 1 per hour possible ( farthest reach towards the drip lines) • Measurement of absolute Gamow Teller strength values • Investigations of 100Sn and nuclei along/beyond the proton dripline • Structure of nuclei in heavy r-process region • Measurement of g-factors of isomeric states and half lives of very short isomers

  9. NuSTAR science within Modules 0-1-2-3 HISPEC: • high resolution in-flight gamma-spectroscopy(HISPEC with AGATA) • Probing the evolution of nuclear shell structure in very n-rich medium-heavy nuclei using Coulomb-excitation, knock-out, and secondary fragmentation • Probing the evolution of nuclear collectivity far from stability using Coulomb-excitation, lifetime and g-factor measurements

  10. NuSTAR science within Modules 0-1-2-3 MATS and LASPEC: • precision masses, ground-state moments • short-lived nuclei and refractory elements not available with ISOL • using ion-traps and laser spectroscopy after gas-stopping cell

  11. NuSTAR science within Modules 0-1-2-3 ILIMA in CR: • direct mass measurements of nuclei with half-lives in the millisecond region (most exotic, r-process) • half-life experiments on highly-charged exotic ions • studies of long-lived isomeric states. Highlight: Half-lives and masses of r-process nuclei responsible for the A~195 abundance mass peak

  12. What is missing? NESR ELISe: Elastic and inelastic electron scattering (charge distributions, giant resonances) • Experiments with stored electron cooled ion beams • World-wide unique • Conceptionaly new AIC: Antiproton anihilation on nuclear surface (neutron skin thickness) EXL: Elastic scattering and low-q reactions (matter distributions, monople resonances, capture reactions, trnasfer, knock-out) • ILIMA: • precise masses and half-lives of many nuclei • unique decay modes

  13. Conclusions • Modules 0-1-2-3 of FAIR will allow for unique, exciting, and world-unique experiments • Modularized FAIR start version is an essential step towards establishing the FAIR GmbH • However: NuSTAR experimental programme will bring to fruition only a fraction of its full potential • Need for NESR with world-wide unique experimental • Need RESR for availability of parallel beams at FAIR • Need SIS300 for full multi-user capabilities and maximum efficiency of FAIR facility • We need to continue to work towards the full FAIR facility!! • Continue to work on TDRs for NuSTAR experiments • Continue a vigorous program at GSI FRS and ESR

  14. The way forward • After founding of FAIR GmbH • full review of all design details needed to optimize facility layout • secure more funds !! (74 M€ not firm, new partners?) • Time line: approx 1.5 years until building construction can start • SIS18 beams from Super-FRS (before SIS100) seems possible • time for careful planning on how to move forward with LEB, EXL • Keep focus on: • realization of the full NuSTAR facility • performing excellent physics at GSI/FRS/ESR and the FAIR start version • Need work on NuSTAR MoU and Money Matrices
